Ahh People.
Today is a great day.
So great Im not even bothering with the ‘I feel badly for those of you who have to work or who dont reside in the USA and have the day off’ dizclaimer.
OH NO SHE DIDNT!!! Oh YES SHE DID!
Ren Man is home.
The child is home.
Im always home home but plan to have my work finished at the CRACK of dawn.
And we’re going to just HANG OUT ALL DAY.
First we will workout.
Non-traditionally of course because (all together now) fitness isn’t about fitting in.
(if youre joining via a reader theres a 20 second video below of the Husband doing creative corework in the domicile)
Next we will be doing a President’s Day craft:
(Im seriously excited about this for some odd reason. Pretzels, frosting, all reminiscent of my FAVE Lincoln Logs toy? What’s not to love?)
After all *that* excitement we shall unwind with some family yoga time (please to enjoy the ephemeral video below where Ren Man & Tornado demonstrate the obscure and seemingly random well-known Lizard on a Rock pose. Then please to grab a partner & attempt at home):
Then, if this misfit gets her way, we shall cap the day off with a family outing to an educational film or somewhere equally serious & fraught with learning potential.
And you?
What are you up to on this Monday?
Will you join us in frosting & frivolity?
Core-work & (movie) candy?
Please to hit us all up in the comments…

February 21, 2011 at 2:36 amFor practical reasons (we wouldn’t want a flattened hubby) I would have to be the rock when we do this one. I think we might skip it for now, actually, but I am definitely going to do the core workout with the vigorously swinging arms, especially since I still haven’t found a hula hoop.
Have a great holiday, Miz and family!
Molly says
February 21, 2011 at 4:41 amHappy Day I am still working (I knew you would be too :)).
That core work video is priceless.
Lynn says
February 21, 2011 at 4:48 amI’m working too 🙂 and asking for a picture if you make that cabin!
(Then send it to me for a snack :))
RunnerGirl says
February 21, 2011 at 5:08 amI live in Austin, too!
I didn’t know you were here. My family loves Kiddie Acres 🙂
Irene says
February 21, 2011 at 5:15 amGood morning!
Today the hubster and I will be taking the hurricane to her first dentist appointment. *da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaa*

Helen says
February 21, 2011 at 5:31 amRen Man’s video is classic.
Send him here to core work my floors!!
Yum Yucky says
February 21, 2011 at 6:15 amI tried to push for that same educations film, but the peeps ’round here are acting like they don’t have the Bieber fever. How rude!
Joanna Sutter says

Erica says

I hope you guys just have the most fabulous day. Evah. And congrats to Ren Man for his new exercise video line. He is quite the guru (behind the mizguru)
Jody - Fit at 53 says
February 21, 2011 at 7:10 amI don’t even know where to start!!! LOVE it all – love the videos of yes, Ren Man dusting the floor & I am going to try, ;-), he & Tornado having yoga fun, the log cabin which I am passing on to grandkids, the fun all day with family …
LOVE!
Hubby has to work. I already got to the gym… will do home stuff today as tomorrow is teeth day, UGH! 😉
Have a wonderful one Carla & family!
Lori (Finding Radiance) says
February 21, 2011 at 7:43 amSo much fun happening there! I work today, but I work from home and can flex my time a bit. Good enough.
that little house? Please tell me you are going to eat it. Frosting and pretzels are a sweet/salty heaven!
Coco says
February 21, 2011 at 7:50 amI am going to work (soon, really). But that’s OK. I’m doing it because I will be taking off this Friday to watch my son compete in the “national” wrestling tournament. He doesn’t think we should bother to go since he “won’t win.” But if we don’t go who would remember to get a t-shirt?! Not my jaded teenage son, that’s for sure!
messymimi says
February 21, 2011 at 8:23 amLove your edible craft! My favorite kind.
Our day will be spend doing mostly the usual, as Sweetie has to work, kids have school and home school for youngest, and cats need feeding and cleaning after, laundry needs doing. The day will have an easier pace, though, because there will be less traffic when running errands.
Sagan says
February 21, 2011 at 8:28 amI didn’t know that Americans got the day off today too! We call it Family Day in Canada (or Louis Riel Day in Manitoba).
I’m spending the day doing freelancing. And laundry 😉
…should probably stop mucking about on the Internet and get some work done. Think I might have to do a core workout first though! Hehe.
Karen says
February 21, 2011 at 8:45 amToo funny! I have to show this to my husband – he “mops” our wood floors by putting the terry cloth mop covers on his feet. But his technique is lacking. Me, I’m just glad he’s doing the mopping!
Bea says
February 21, 2011 at 9:10 amI love your creative workouts.
I don’t think my husband would join in unless Ren Man called and told him to 🙂
Is that possible?
Kerri O says
February 21, 2011 at 9:11 amI scheduled today off in our homeschool calendar, so I’m right there with ya! Although hubby does have to work (boo). The boys and I are playing all. day. long. wooot! I have the timer set for 30 minutes of online time, then I’m out.
debby says
February 21, 2011 at 9:30 amFun videos! Cracking up with the ‘core workout and movie candy.’ Definitely would be my choice for the day.
Tina says
February 21, 2011 at 9:33 amworking then going to the trainer today. Love the partner yoga. I did a great backbend the other day with my husband holding me. Maybe I can get him to do that more often! 🙂
anne h says
February 21, 2011 at 9:39 amWhat fun your life is!
You are do got it going on!
Jack Sh*t says
February 21, 2011 at 9:41 am“Rain Man out!” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Donna says
February 21, 2011 at 9:46 amHow fun is that pretzel cabin.
Do you own a hot glue gun Mizzy???
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
February 21, 2011 at 10:50 amI still can’t get over the giggling. It’s fantastic!
And I love the core work. We often need the floors dried after mopping. Now Hunni can mop and I’ll dry :0D
Shelley B says
February 21, 2011 at 12:23 pmFun times in the MizFit household! Love that floor exercise, and how you reminded RenMan to swing his arms, lol!
Maybe I can talk my mom into making log cabins today. 🙂
charlotte says
February 21, 2011 at 2:26 pmSo fun to see Ren Man and Tornado smiling together! Nothing like a father and his daughter – awww:) Loved reading this post too – I could feel your smile through your words and it made me smile too!
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
February 21, 2011 at 3:21 pmOf all those things, I think I could handle the frosting best. 🙂 Enjoy your day!
Janice - The Fitness Cheerleader says
February 21, 2011 at 4:46 pmFamily Day here in Ontario, so I ran, then pulled kids in sleds, then big kids went to an indoor playground & a movie while I stayed home & cuddled with bambino & folded laundry.
Leaving Fatville says
February 21, 2011 at 5:31 pmJust me and the little dude today, so we did some morning backyard play time with race cars, then onto a healthy locally farm to table mexican lunch and some major park playing with a friend. Great day, great time, and I’m exhausted!
Melissa says
February 21, 2011 at 6:43 pmSounds like a perfect day. If the DH is doing Rock then Emma’s pose should be called Paper. And since you’re editing, you’re Scissors.
Kimberley says
February 21, 2011 at 7:13 pmAlthough it is Family Day here in Ontario, I did not have the day off. I spent the day taking care of business!
Love the Ren Man’s core work and what a fabulous yoga pose…I haven’t learned this one yet and will have to ask my teacher about it…
P.S. I did eat some gluten free pretzels, but did not build anything with them.
Miz says
February 21, 2011 at 7:29 pmit was a great day 😉
Myra says
February 21, 2011 at 9:45 pmI was going to get up and go to my beloved (really) gym…but there was about 6 inches of SNOW! Before I had a chance to get dressed, beautiful daughter was on it and cleaned up my car for my workout. Cooked breakfast,me, mom, and daughter…washed dishes…felt guilty that daughter only has two days off and I have a week, took daughter out..neither one of us wanted to go to the mall..came home…went to the gym…YAY!
lots of living.
Natalia says
February 22, 2011 at 8:09 amha ha!! Love the video’s and the house is sooo cute!
Rachael says
February 22, 2011 at 1:07 pmYour day looks fun and fulfilling. I love the log cabin! Full house here too. Beautiful day out, nice and sunny. Unfortunately snow on the ground and very cold. Orthodontist appointments this morning and low and behold my son has to have his wisdom teeth pulled. He is excited…too bad he has no idea what he is in for. Off to the gym soon for an intense interval workout and some upper body work.
